Outlook - Mark Henry, for one reason or another, managed to get the company's first ten-year contract. While he was a good athlete, he wasn't a natural wrestler and when he was rushed along he didn't improve. Finally he was dropped down to OVW where he shed weight and improved. Then when a "World's Strongest Man" competition came along, Henry bulked back up and was brought back to the WWE. So more or less his years in OVW accomplished little in the short run and now he's been tossed back in the mix. However, after getting another big push, Henry started to show hints of excellence as he was bumping hard, working smart and generally being the big man he's needed to be. Mark Henry is still in his early 30s and while his body is beat up, the WWE has pushed him hard and he's started to come through. Hopefully he can make the most of his final years on his contract and become a quality big man for the company.
